Pretirement:one year on

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

The British-Isles tip intrigues me organizationally as well.

Is that tip located in the open air but perhaps fenced or walled in some way so that once in the tip, always there?

The Appeal of Ruins

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observations and question!

That comment and the third comment down respectively consider demons as "rogue angels" and Satan as "an archangel who went wrong."

Do the above-mentioned Hell-dwellers stay that way forever or will they be joined by more archangels gone wrong or rogue angels or will these rogue angels and archangels vanish?

The Crossover: a review

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Online sources give no family context to either town planner John Westbrook or to actor John Aubrey Westbrook (Nov. 1, 1922-June 16, 1989).

Might the two individuals be related?

Saint Edith Stein: philosopher, Christian feminist, Auschwitz victim

I do not ,know ,whether she had the time to clarify the boundaries between the two spheres before she died.

I suspect that there are people who can explain the origin ofbthebword and how it developed, but I do not know the details.

Saint Edith Stein: philosopher, Christian feminist, Auschwitz victim

The second paragraph to the first subheading, Edith's early life, advises us that "She was also deeply aware that the state or powerful forces who seize control of it tended to interfere in individual life, quite prescient as events were to turn out. In response she wrote An Investigation Concerning the State, which argued that there is a personal sphere into which the state must not interfere."

Is it known how St. Edith Stein defined individual and personal lives and what spheres she judged untouchable by outsiders such as "the state"?

Mary Magdalene: the woman who loved much

The gospels are a lifetime's study.

Yes.

Reflections on the Crisis in the Catholic Church

Saints never regardbthemselves saints. I suspect that heaven and he'll have one thing in common. They are both inhabited by people who don't think they deserve to be there

The North Wales Pilgrim Path

The connections between Tokharian and Gaelic are mysterious, especially as a great landmass separate them. But not all liminal sites overlooked the ocean. But strangely the mongol peoples, who knew not the sea, used a word related to ocean for the vast expanse of heaven above, a piece of information I took from TIM severin's book, In Search of Genghis Khan.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observations and questions.

The word tip intrigues me etymologically and organizationally.

Is it known how, when, where, why the aforementioned word included in its meanings garbage, trash place?

Mary Magdalene: the woman who loved much

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question!

It's interesting to know about rearranged gospels. Is it known the when, who and why of the adulterous woman (and man ;-D!) tale traveling into the St. Luke gospel and then trekking into the St. John?

Wisdom: a forgotten concept

Thank you for your comment in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question!

Your answer advises us of your daughter's family-therapy certificate, "the study for which is deemed to be at a masters level."

Does that study demand attending classes, going through a reading list, taking a series of exams or presentations or one final exam or presentation?

Reflections on the Crisis in the Catholic Church

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

An honor awarded quickly after the honoree's death perhaps suggests said honoree suspecting the posthumous honor.

Would that be the case with Doctor of the Church, that it would be no surprise to that person alive and in fact to colleagues and non-peers?

It would be comforting to wend one's way into death with such a welcome honor and with the knowledge, in actress Sally Field's words, that "You like me!"

The North Wales Pilgrim Path

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Towards the waterfall, advises us that " Liminal places include mountain tops and sites of great natural beauty."

Elizabeth Wayland, in The mummies of Ürümchi, about the Tarim river basin mummies of Iranian DNA and some connection with Gaelic-speaking ancients through their Tocharian language, ascribes to Gaelic ancestors alignments to one another by beautiful, high, ocean-overlooking sites with defensible fortresses and horse-raising and textile-making activities.

Might that mean that Gaelic-ancestored sites matter as liminal places?
